Critiques
"Autor of a varied work and diversified technique, where various trends in contemporary art are combined, his work must be inserted in the production from the 60's, in the midst of the avant-garde renovations brought by the International movements such as surrealism, graphics, dadaism, pop art and the free research of the so-called experimental art. The incursion by these and other aesthetic proposals that emerged today is quite evident in his painting, where the geometric, surreal and abstracting elements They are combined with a very satisfactory plastic result and sometimes surprising effects."
